I eat soup a LOT. It's usually a variation of the same soup base-
1/4 medium white onion
1 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup bell peppers diced
add about 3 tbsp olive oil, and let the onion and garlic cook over a low heat until the onion is almost translucent.
Then I add-
about 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 tsp rubbed sage
1/4 tsp oregano
1/8 tsp thyme
I let the spices cook until the flavors are pretty well mixed in with the garlic, onion and bell pepper,
then I add 1 can of vegetable stock, and turn up the heat to medium
various vegetables-
usually frozen corn (canned isn't as good, but if you can get fresh it's better than frozen)
frozen diced carrots (they cook faster than fresh)
frozen lima beans (not too many of those, but they add some color)
and fresh or canned green peas (again, not too many, mostly for color, and the frozen peas are just not very good to me)
the vegetables should be covered with liquid, but not so much that they can move around so much.
Turn the heat down to low,cover, and let this barely simmer for about 30- 45 minutes (you may need to add liquid at some point)
After all of your veggies have simmered a bit, add
some fresh chopped basil
another can of vegetable stock
about 2 or 3 cans of water, depending on how much soup you are making
At this point I bust out the premade spagetti sauce (the kind in the can usually mushroom or herb), then I turn the heat up to just above medium, and let it simmer for about 30 minutes or so.
If you need more liquid, you can always add veggie stock or water. If it's too tin, continue simmering until the soup is as thick as you like it.
This soup is great with crusty bread, or you can add rotini or penne pasta to it. I'm vegetarian, but if you are not, you can add just about anything to this soup. If you have leftovers, simmply reduce most of the liquid out, and freeze the part that's leftover. When you want soup again, you just add this frozen stuff to the proper amount of water and presto!
Things to avoid adding to this recipe-
broccoli-it gets squishy and gross
squash-it falls apart
Other than those things, just about anything goes!

I made a chicken noodle soup.... I used a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.. We had eaten the main meat the night before, so I picked the chicken off the bones and set aside.. I took the carcass and covered it with cold water and brought to a boil, I turned down the heat and added some carrots, celery and onions, garlic head cut in half and some peppercorns.. I let that simmer for awhile... It makes a nice broth... I took the bones out and strained the vegatables.. So, I had a clear broth.. I then added some carrots, celery, onions and whatever other vegatables you like. Precook your noodles and add the chicken you picked from the bones.. It's very healthy and tasty.. Oh salt/pepper to taste... This soup also freezes well.. You can do the same procecure with a raw chicken...It just takes longer and you have to skim the fat off the top..... Good luck

I have this one recipe.. it is an Indonesian style. It is simple to make n quite yum
water (3/4 pan)
2 pieces drumstick
2 washed potatoes (medium sizes, cut into cubes)
2 carrots (medium sizes, slices 0,5 cm)
200 gr peas
1/2 red onions, slice thinly
1/2 flat teaspoon sugar
3/4 flat teaspoon pepper
1/2 flat teaspoon nutmeg
1 flat teaspoon salt
1 block chicken stock
a bit of oil (to fry the onions)

Method:
fry the onions until smells good, put aside

boil/ microwave potatoes, carrots and peas until they go soft, put aside

boil the water
once it boiled, put the drumstick in, cook in low heat, until cooked
once the chicken cook, u can cut the meat off of its skin (easier in eating the meat once it is ready to eat), or just leave it as it is

put in the fried onions
put in the carrots, potatoes and peas

put in the spices

PS: if u like saltier, just add up some salt
but not too much sugar, otherwise ur soup will be sweet n not taste good (i put sugar bcoz the mix of sugar and salt has the same taste of MSG, since MSG is not adviced, i use sugar instead)
to taste better, u can add some pepper or nutmeg
not too much nutmeg though, will taste bitter

ENJOY

BEEF SOUP

500gm chuck steak, diced
1 onion finely diced
1 tblsp oil
1 tblsp butter
6 cups boiling water
6 maggi beef stock cubes
6 tsp paprika
140 gm tomato paste
½ cup small shell pasta
1 sml tin champingons (pieces and stems)
Fresh chopped parsley

Heat oil and butter in a large pot, add steak pieces and onion. Cook until onion has sweated and steak is lightly browned. (It doesn’t have to be cooked at this stage)

Dissolve stock cubes in water, add to the pot with the paprika and tomato paste. Bring to the boil and then add the pasta. Cook for about 10 minutes until the pasta is almost cooked. You may need to skim the surface from time to time to remove the scum.

Drain the champingons and add, allow to simmer for a further 5-10 minutes until the pasta is cooked. Add the finely chopped parsley and serve in large bowls.

You can top with some fresh Parmesan and some crusty Vienna bread on the side.

The good thing about this soup is that it is a meal in itself because of the pasta and meat. It is a great winter warmer too.

Enjoy.

Tomato soup, or other vegetable based soups.

Any soup that isn't a cream soup.

If a soup asks for cream you can always try to add a dollop at serving time too. Flavour without being overpowering.

I use to make potato soup with cream of mushroom soup to make it a little thicker and it is really great. Just boil your potatoes with salt, pepper and garlic powder. When potatoes are soft add milk, butter and cream of mushroom soup. Try it, I think you will like it too... ps. if you don't like mushrooms use cream of chicken or broccoli soup instead. Happy eating.
